Description
Ehlert (Red Leaf, Yellow Leaf) returns to one of her favorite themes—the rainbow beauty of
autumn leaves—for this refreshing riff on leaf peeping and collecting. A narrator recalls the Leaf
Man that used to live nearby but recently blew away with the wind. 'He left no travel plans.' From
that breezy beginning, the narrator imagines the different flight patterns the Leaf Man may have
followed 'past the chickens, toward the marsh,... over the prairie meadows,... past the spotted
cows,' and punctuates the lyrical text with an occasional refrain ( 'a Leaf Man's got to go where the
wind blows'). All the while, Ehlert sparks her foliage flight of fancy with her snazzy leaf collages.
Fiery maple, brown mottled catalpa and bright yellow ginko leaves take the shape of various
animals and objects on each spread. The boldly colored background papers, of varying texture,
make the leaves pop. And, in the type of clever book design for which Ehlert is known, the pages
are die-cut and/or patchworked at the top to create a rolling, flowing effect throughout. Endpapers
serve as a labeled field guide to leaf varieties and an author's note expresses Ehlert's passion for
her subject, and describes her art technique. After this visual feast, young nature lovers are sure to
look with fresh eyes as they walk through the woods. Ages 4-8. (Sept.) Copyright © Reed

Review. PreSchool-Grade 3–Ehlert combines vivid collage artwork, effulgent colors, and an
inventive design to create an eye-catching picture book. With a body made of fallen leaves and
acorns for eyes, Leaf Man takes off from a backyard and flutters away on the breeze, meandering
past animals, over fields of fall vegetables, above waterways, and across prairie meadows. The
text suggests a range of possible destinations, along with the refrain, Well, a Leaf Man's got to go
where the wind blows. Finally, readers are encouraged to listen for a rustle in the leaves and
maybe find a Leaf Man of their own to take home. From ducks to pumpkins to fish, all of the
objects described are fashioned out of life-size leaves of various shapes, sizes, and hues and set
against backgrounds of textured paper. The die-cut pages curve and bend across the top edge,
suggesting undulating mountains set against a sky-blue backdrop. The various leaves and seeds
are identified on the endpapers. While the story is simple, the artwork is dazzling, and the book's
concept will inspire nature walks, art projects, and curiosity about the changing seasons.–Joy
